Liz's husband Jim, fearful of her having an affair, became suspicious when Liz took off to Southport for a few days to settle Nancy into her new flat during January 1996. His fears were unfounded however as he discovered that Liz was really with her mother at that time.

At a dinner party at the Clock Restaurant in August 2005, Liz recalled how Nancy was an older parent and for the first four months of her pregnancy, thought she had a tumour.
